#OCS R2 Ignite Training: Day 4

#OCS2007R2 .. Can’t be bothered to change the title, but these notes are from Global Knowledge: 50214A Implementing and Maintaining Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2″

So @ home I now have internal IM and web IM working. Need to test conferencing, but that will probably wait until the weekend.

Day 4 starts with the Audio Lab, which I have been waiting for .. essentially configuring an Audiocodes MP-113 with OCS and Exchange ..

My takeaways from today are:

Had trouble access Response Group Workflows on the FrontEnd Server .. 926642 Error message when you try to access a server locally by using its FQDN or its CNAME alias after you install Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1: “Access denied” or “No network provider accepted the given network path” [http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/926642?p=1]

Response Groups are good. I like the way the workflow moves calls between OCS clients

Chris showed me this .. if you have enterprise pools, click on the pool and in the main pane you will see a database tab. Have a go at clicking the GO buttons, you get loads of kewl information

Oh and another I didn’t know. Like Outlook, if you hold down CTRL and right click the Office Communicator Icon in the notification area you get an new option “Configuration Information” … Kewl .. but a daft thing is that it doesn’t come in to focus on top windows
